Foreword

Clause 6, clause 8 and sub-clause 9.1 of this Standard are mandatory. The

rest are recommendatory.

This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T

1.1-2009.

This Standard replaces GA 10-2002 Protective clothing for firefighters and GA

mainly based on GA10-2002, and the whole contents of GA 140-1996 are

integrated. Compared with GA 10-2002, in addition to the editorial

modifications, the main technical modifications are as follows.

- added requirements for model preparation method (see 4.1);

- added design requirements for life-saving towing belt (see 5.5);

- added requirements for overall thermal protection performance test

phenomenon (see 6.1);

- added requirements for flame retardant properties of thermal barrier

and comfort layer after washing 25 times (see 6.2.1);

- added requirements for various materials flame retardant properties

fixed in the protective clothing outer layer (see 6.2.2);

- added flame retardant requirements for life-saving towing material and

sewing thread (see 6.2);

- improved requirements for thermal stability of thermal barrier and

moisture barrier (see 6.3.1);

- added requirements for thermal stability of lifesaving traction materials

(see 6.3.1);

- added requirements for comfort layer thermal stability (see 6.3.2);

- added requirements for material shrinkage per layer (see 6.4);

- added requirements for breaking strength of comfortable layer (see

6.6.2);

- added requirements for breaking strength of lifesaving towing material

(see 6.6.3);

- added requirements for color fastness of outer layer (see 6.9);
